For anyone who hasn't read it, I recommend "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Positive Dog Training" by Pamela Dennison.  It's fantastic!  On a par with The Culture Clash, a must-read IMO :) explains why punishments of any kind don't work and also what effect they can have, as well as how to get a better relationship with your dog, all the important stuff.  I've got about 12 books to flick through for my behaviour course, and so far I haven't even looked at the others!
